The fourteen-story A.G. Bartlett Building was completed in 1911 and maintained the title of the tallest building in Downtown Los Angeles for five years thereafter. Renowned Architects John Parkinson and Edwin Bergstrom were tasked with the building’s original design and employed a Beaux Arts style. The Bartlett Building served as the headquarters of the Union Oil Company from completion until 1923. The building served office tenants for much of the 20th century but in need of extensive updates and repairs by the 1990s. When the Los Angeles Adaptive Reuse ordinance was implemented in 1999, the Bartlett Building was a prime candidate.
The Bartlett Building Lofts were born in 2002, with the transformation of the property into 130 residential loft condominium units with parking and ground floor retail spaces. While the updated building features as more modern look, glass mosaics and colored marble have been preserved on the ground floor and the mezzanine level still features fragments of the original black and white pattern flooring. The rooftop of the Bartlett Building was remade into a large common area featuring plenty of room fro lounging and enjoying 360-degree views of Downtown Los Angeles.
